Caskey - Richer Than Russ lyrics

When you grew up watchin' yo'
People addicted to drugs
It's hard to get rid of the mud
Picture somebody that's down bad
When it come to yo' mind
You ain't picturin' us
Y'all been so hooked on the
Medication and the alcohol
You call it livin' it up
Dog, that ain't livin' to us
We tryna get richer than Russ

The sheets on my bed is plush
My bitch is a ten
But bread is all that I lust
The wind came through with a gust
God spoke to me and said that
You capable of so much
Tryna manifest cribs out in Europe
Takin' my nephew to school in a Urus
2023, the year I'ma flourish
I gotta get to it, I'm sure of it
Look how I made it this far
Lookin' back now would just be
An insult to God
Importin' waves into my Pro Tools session
It feel like I'm importin' cars
Probably 'cause that's what I
Buy with these bars
Shoot past they head 'cause I
Shoot for the stars
Least if I miss, I'ma end up on Mars
Go fuck with yourself 'cause you
Can't fuck with ours

When you grew up watchin' yo'
People addicted to drugs
It's hard to get rid of the mud
Picture somebody that's down bad
When it come to yo' mind
You ain't picturin' us
Y'all been so hooked on the
Medication and the alcohol
You call it livin' it up
Dog, that ain't livin' to us
We tryna get richer than Russ

Tryna get richer than Russ
Shout out Russ, he motivate me
And make it impossible to be complacent
He showed how he made it
I know I could make it
Grinded for years and never
Saw nothin' from it
So pain, I know I could take it
Last couple years, we've been elevatin'
People see the life I live, think I made it
But I got a vision, impossible to downsize
Guess that I gotta upgrade it
Thought I was on when I signed under Baby
But I ain't work enough
So wasn't nothin' changin'
People like to blame the label for failin'
But I knew it was on me, I inhale it
Use it as motivation to change
The end of the story so that I could tell it
Brought myself back in did so many shows
Even when people weren't packed in
It's 'bout connectin' with fans
Not just showin' up, live for the backend
Ten people out in Reno, Nevada
Gratitude'll have you tapped in
And I still gave 'em a show
When you do right, good things gon' happen
Just did five hunnid in Denver
A thousand in my hometown, I'm growin'
Y'all stuck inside the same place
'cause you ain't got a vision
For where you was goin'
Fourth grade, I knew I was a poet
Eleventh grade when I dropped
My first mixtape
You buyin' your chains on ShopGold
Homie, all of that shit fake

When you grew up watchin' yo'
People addicted to drugs
It's hard to get rid of the mud
Picture somebody that's down bad
When it come to yo' mind
You ain't picturin' us
Y'all been so hooked on the
Medication and the alcohol
You call it livin' it up
Dog, that ain't livin' to us
We tryna get richer than mafuckin' Russ

Yes sir, man, we tryna get richer than Russ
That go for Russ the rapper
Russell Westbrook, we see the future
Russell Wilson
Makin' movies like Russell Crowe
Rest in peace, Bill Russell
